Cody,

I plan to use it in life sciences. We use of course basic descriptive
statistics but also classification using ACP and CAH (French
abbreviation for Principal Component Analysis and Hierarchical Cluster
Analysis). We also use logistic regression for classifying some results
of clinical laboratory analyses.

In fact, I have been a user of SPSS for - quite - a long time. The price
of the licences are increasing and it becomes a problem for us (many
thousand of euros). I am the only user and don't work with the programs
on a daily basis. So - I confess - I am investigating R. And I am more
and more convinced by the possibilities it offers.

Regards.

Alain
